    Your interest in the AFL?

    Also London Ontario. I have been caught out a few times with people over here talking about going to London, meaning ON not UK.

    What is your most heartbreaking loss?

    For me the 95 Prelim hurt more. I know we were never in the game but my Dad is a Carlton fan, as if most of my family, he took me down to the G to watch the game. I was 15 and sick of him bragging about all the flags the blues had won, I just so wanted the roos to win so I could give it to the...

    What is your most heartbreaking loss?

    I don't think you know the true meaning of heartbreak until you see your team lose a grand final. 1998 was it for me. At half time when we had missed so many opportunities I had this horrible feeling. I was in a pub next to the Richmond train station watching it. I can remember during the half...

    Players That Frustrate You.

    Past: Darryl White before he become a dependable defender. He would be awesome one week then not get a kick the week after. Current: L.Thomas

    Did You Know...?

    I believe this also led to the creation of Hamilton Imperials, whose club rooms were directly across the ground from Hamiltons.

    Your interest in the AFL?

    I lived in Victoria until 2006, when I relocated the Brisbane for 3 years, then Canada in 2009 where I have been since. I must say that my love of the sport has only grown. While I lived in Brisbane I gave league and Union a go, but I just couldn't get into it. I have also given the North...

    Ch 7 angers W.A fans over alleged biased commentators in the Freo v/s Cats match

    It's interesting reading all the interstate rivalry stuff for me. I have been living overseas for the last 3 years. I think living outside Australia has changed my perspective, the interstate stuff almost seems trivial to me. Outside Australia there is zero profile for our great game. People...

    Waverly Park

    I remember going there years ago. I went to one of the last games played there and had a seat way up the back, so I couldn't see jack. I wonder had it been finished to the 150 - 170k capacity, how far back would the cheap seats be? Would be awesome to see a 3d model of it :P.

    Country towns and footballers

    I had no idea Cameron was from Dartmoor. I actually grew up near there in Portland. My olds live in Casterton, a town of less than 2000 which is where Max Rooke is from.

    Outsider's perception of Big Footy

    I agree with you ChunkyDuckling, I mainly use it because of being outside Australia and not always having people to talk about footy with. There is another Aussie bloke at my work and when we bump into each other we chat about footy a bit, if I have other people with me they just look at us like...
